MoronLessOff:Why didn't I think of this. The X-Wing is just a modified Peace Crane.

It's also fairly abstract. I'm sure there's an origami design of the X-wing that includes a slenderer nose, engines, cockpit and little droid head poking up. But I don't know if those insanely contorted folds, while impressive, always do it for me.

The giraffe and the pelican came from Origami for the connoisseur and took about 2 hours apiece to fold. The scorpion diagram can be found here and is a much simpler design (all models are small, folded from 15cm paper). Also, if you like the X-wing design FTFA, more diagrams can be found here. I'm planning on folding a few of those tonight as well as the Batman in the article.
